Bryan Epis is free!
The man whose case has been the prime example of how wrong the federal
government's war on medical marijuana can go, walked out of federal prison
in Long Beach at approximately 4:30pm today, thanks to an order this
morning by an appeals court in San Francisco.
After being greeted at the prison gates by supporters from Americans for
Safe Access, Mr. Epis was driven to the Burbank airport for a flight to San
Jose, where he will be met be family members and spend the night with his
mother.
He will be re-united with his 11-year-old daughter, Ashley, tomorrow
morning at 10:00am on the steps of the federal courthouse in Sacramento
where he was convicted. A rally and press conference will follow.
"Bryan's freedom is proof that we are winning," said Steph Sherer,
Executive Director of ASA. "No medical marijuana patient should be in
prison for using the medicine their doctor recommends. Soon, none will be."
Your ongoing support of Americans for Safe Access has helped make this
possible. If you are not already an ASA member, please join today. Help
make sure that Bryan and other patients remain free!
